It's the newest project from chef and restaurateur Andrew Weissman, whose other restaurants, Il Sogno and Sandbar, are among the best in the city, and his The Luxury serves elevated tastes in an outdoor setting.

True to the name, Moshe's focuses on falafel. Diners can choose the style of falafel — classic green with parsley, cilantro and mint or spicy red with harissa and roasted red peppers — and accompaniments such as hummus, tabbouleh, pickles, labneh, babaganoush and Israeli salad.

In addition to soft drinks and either black tea or hibiscus tea, the spot also offers beer and wine.

Everything is made in house, from the pita to the pickles, and it has been receiving an enthusiastic opening. And it has kosher certification.

"I think this is the best start to any concept I have done," Weissman said. "I never expected that a kosher falafel place would hold so much interest."

For the rest of the week and next week, it's going to focus on lunch, opening around 11 a.m. and serving falafel until the restaurant runs out.
